Credits

  • This project was done as part of CS 475, a course at IIT Bombay. [course page] [showcase]
  • We made use of the CS 475 Tutorials for some of the base code. In particular, Tutorial 5 for Phong shading and Tutorial 7 for hierarchical modeling.
  • We used the STB library to read and write into files and images.
  • For shading and texturing, Learn OpenGL was invaluable.
  • We used babylonjs for the environment maps.
  • We also referred to the official websites of GLFW and GLM.
  • Music credits (in the animated video):
